@thelindsayellis had to get out of the house yesterday, but wanted to be air conditioned, so I took the baby mall-walking and listened to your audiobook. It was really weird when I realized I was *in the mall* that Cora runs to after seeing the alien for the first time.
@VGApocalypse Sidenote: I picked up all those Cal Worthington references Matt was throwing down last week. I used to have to call Call Worthington Ford for work, and they kept Cal's voice as the "press 1 to talk to a sales rep" recording til the day they closed. It was like calling a ghost.
@VGApocalypse QotW: All of the weapons in Jedi Knight were modeled with Kyle Katarn's hand attached to them. This meant, no matter what character you picked in multiplayer, they had Kyle's arm from just below the elbow down. My favorite was always C-3P0 with one human hand.
@Ruleof2Review The Saturn. I know, long term, quads weren't the future, but the crisp textures, bright colors and curved surfaces made those games age much better than PSX or N64.
@mattycallen not sure if anyone shared this with you yet, but thought it would be professionally interesting to you.

(also, the fact that you guys haven't had anyone from @p1podcast on @VGApocalypse is wild to me)
@mattycallen @VGApocalypse I couldn't find the Rappy drawing, so please accept this picture of the Chao costume I'm supposed to make her for Halloween (if you need a slide for your "How Do We Penetrate the Kindergarten Market" presentation)
@mattycallen @VGApocalypse I'll see if I took a picture. Basically, we drove by the SEGA offices in Irvine, and she wanted me to send her pitch for "Rappy Bandits: These Rappys Only Steal From Bad Guys".
Also, she doesn't understand that I don't *know* the people in my podcasts.
@turbobison I've never understood how people who love X can hate XIII so much. It's the same game, just bigger with more production value and no awful singing scenes.
@MannyCara Haha, maybe. I think there's a shitty cloud surrounding Earthspark specifically, since that's the one that apparently got complained about on Fox News. It just sucks because that's our entry point, so I've got to dig us out from there.
Anyway, I guess this is a long-winded way of saying "thank you for being a bright spot in what is apparently a hateful cesspool." I hope my daughter runs into more David Willises and fewer Megatrump_69s
@damnyouwillis so I've been following your comics for about 20 years, but never really got into Transformers myself. This whole time, you've basically been my only window into that fandom.
Oh man. What a fandom full of NOT David Willises! Like WOOOOOOW. I didn't realize that there was a group out there that held Optimus Prime up as an alt-right conservative hero, or that the gender identity of robots born from a magic rock could be so controversial!
